TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extender Setup, Review, and Speed Test | TP-Link WA855RE - Speed Comparison

Check my unboxing and review of TP-LINK TL-WA855RE Wi-Fi Range Extender. I've set it up via the UI and ran a couple of speed test as well for comparison with my internet gateway itself. What do you think of cheap wifi repeaters out there like this? Do you have a better alternative in mind? Please let me know in the comments below. Thanks!

[@kusinanitani]

How about when you try on acces point is there any difference between access point vs extender

[@donclewley3152]

Nice job !

[@christine1687]

hi.. tp link or xioami? which one you would recommend? i'll be using it for our 2nd floor rooms. thanks

[@GlennThoughts]

Absolutely TP Link

[@georgidimitrov8234]

@@GlennThoughts Can you please say why?Is it much better?I am choosing between xiaomi wifi extender pro and this Tp link.Thank you

[@davidesguerra7837]

[@egehvictor5380]

To link has Ethernet port while xiaomi doesn’t

[@GerrieRheeders]

Thanks for the help it make cents no

[@rypanganiban4024]

Should the extender password same as the router password or i can change the password of the extender?thanks

[@GlennThoughts]

You can change and have its own pw

[@derrickoleke523]

Can you change ssid of the extender?

[@GlennThoughts]

Yes

[@jessagubalani4085]

Hi po! Do we really need to place the extender near the router or near where the place you want to be covered by the extender?

[@GlennThoughts]

Not need the router. Just in its range. So place it like in between your router and the devices its going to serve

[@meronmeron-m3m]

how about connecting your desktop via cable directly to the extender how's the speed?

[@GlennThoughts]

Limited to 100mbps but since wifi is just single band, you're gonna get pretty much the same speed as of wifi

[@meronmeron-m3m]

Thanks @@GlennThoughts so does that mean it won't give half of bandwidth if you connect your machine via wired connection on extender?

[@janmichaelcastillo9904]

Ung tp link wa855re ko naka sampong reset naku dahil 1mbps lang nakukuha niyang speed mg net, sa pldt homefibr 300mbps ko nasa 2nd floor ung extender ko solid blue light pero 1mbps lang bigay, nag try ako ibaba ung tp link wa855re ko dito sa st floor at inulitvko ininstall same result parin parangvnaka linit ung tp link nayan sa pldt homefibr ko, nilapit kuna sa router ko wala parin nakaka stress extender nayan 😔 I don't recommend this kind of extender brand, dalawa ganyan ko same result... 😔

[@lstrjhn8873]

Can i connect it to other router? While it is connected to main router wirelessly?

[@aumarigan]

No such thing mentioned in the manual.

[@howevelyn3132]

What if I forgot the password ...what should I do

[@GlennThoughts]

You can set it up again

[@lebronborja5519]

[@GlennThoughts]

Hindi po it will be cut in half.. it will just extend the range

[@bit1011]
